Where is the retreat located?

The retreat is held at my private oceanview home in Nanaimo, BC, just a short walk from the beach. The property features a heated saltwater pool, cozy indoor spaces, and a calm, natural setting to support deep rest.

Is this retreat only for moms?

Yes, this retreat is designed specifically for moms who are looking for nervous system support, deep rest, and reconnection. Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, this space is for you.

What’s included in the cost?

Your investment includes 2 nights accomodation, nourishing meals (two breakfasts, one lunch, two dinners), multiple yoga practices, nervous system workshop, optional meditations, and full access to the property and pool. Local guests participate in all the same offerings, minus overnight accommodations.

Can I come if I’m local and don’t need to stay overnight?

Yes! We offer a local guest option so you can return home to sleep and join us during the day for meals, yoga, and workshops.

What if I want a room to myself?

You can choose to reserve a room solo or share with a friend. Pricing varies based on the room, view, and whether it’s a private or shared space. All options are listed clearly in the accommodations section.

What is the daily schedule like?

Mornings are slow and spacious with optional walks or meditation, followed by yoga and our workshop. Afternoons are open for rest, journaling, connection, or lounging by the pool. Evenings include restorative movement, bedtime meditation, and plenty of opportunity for connection or quiet.

What if I’m not experienced in yoga or meditation?

You’re more than welcome. The practices are gentle and beginner-friendly. Everything is optional, and you’ll be guided with care.

How many participants will there be?

This retreat is intentionally intimate to allow for meaningful connection, quiet rest, and personalized support. There are 4-8 overnight spots available in the home, along with space for a few local mamas to join us during the day. This small group setting ensures you’ll feel seen, supported, and held throughout the weekend.

What should I bring?

After registering, you’ll receive a welcome email with a full packing list, but expect to bring comfortable clothes, a journal, and anything that supports your rest (like your favorite book or cozy sweater).

​

Can I use my benefits to cover this retreat?

Yes! Because I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), most extended health plans may cover the retreat cost under counselling services. As the retreat’s focus is on motherhood, there’s also a chance benefits can be used under your child’s name. Reach out directly and we can explore your options together — I’m happy to provide an invoice that aligns with your plan’s requirements.

​

Are payment plans available?

Yes! I want this retreat to feel accessible. You’re welcome to split your payment into two or three installments, depending on what works best for you. Just reach out and we’ll create a plan together that feels manageable and supportive.

​

Can I come if I don’t know anyone?

Absolutely. Many women attend solo, and the retreat is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and low-pressure. You’ll have plenty of space to be alone and opportunities to connect when you’re ready.

​

Will alcohol be served?

No — we’re creating a fully alcohol-free environment to support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and authentic connection. This retreat is about truly nourishing yourself, and we find that a substance-free space offers the most grounding and clarity for that process.

​

Will I need to disconnect from my phone or technology during the retreat?

We encourage you to unplug as much as possible during the retreat to fully immerse yourself in the experience. While you’re welcome to keep your phone for emergencies or to check in with family, we invite you to step away from screens and allow your nervous system the rare gift of true presence. You’ll find that this digital pause can help deepen your rest and clarity.
